La bête (The Beast)

In a near future where artificial intelligence reigns supreme, human emotions have become a threat. To get rid of them, Gabrielle must purify her DNA by going back into her past lives. There, she reunites with Louis, her great love. But she’s overcome by fear, a premonition that catastrophe is on the way.

First, I wanted to paint a portrait of a woman and deal head-on with love and melodrama. Then to confront it with genre cinema, since to me romance and genre seem to respond to each other. My desire was to interweave the intimate and the spectacular, classicism and modernity, the known and the unknown, the visible and the invisible. To speak, perhaps, of the most heartbreaking of feelings, the fear of love. It’s also a portrait of a woman that almost becomes a documentary about an actress.
